Flames shoot blanks at Sabres

'The Flames were presented a golden opportunity to get on the board five minutes into the second period when Sabres centre Adam Mair was assessed a slashing major and game misconduct for a robust axe-like chop on Calgary defenceman Denis Gauthier's arm. The Flames' power play, however, could muster little in the way of sustained pressure and produced nothing more than a measly two shots.'
